intelligence - Computer Definition

According to Jeffery T. Richelson in his tome The U.S. Intelligence Community, “intelligence” is the product of
an information search and analysis about some foreign nation or about that
nation’s operation areas of particular interest. In the United States, the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) collects overseas intelligence, whereas the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) collects domestic intelligence. Today,
the collection of intelligence includes employing hacking skills to access
information stored in computer systems around the world. Legally, the CIA
cannot collect intelligence against a U.S. citizen unless the investigation
began overseas. For these kinds of cases, the CIA communicates with and shares
intelligence with the FBI.
